Description
This exhibition unpacked the potential of housing cooperatives as a means of addressing Luxembourg's housing crisis. Grounded in the curator’s PhD research, it presented the status quo of the crisis, the principles of co-ops, historical precedents from other countries, and the architectural diversity that participatory design processes within a de-commodified logic can deliver. It concluded with a call for action through the launch of For Future Members Only, a platform connecting individuals interested in joining co-ops. The exhibition and its public programme aimed to introduce housing cooperatives to Luxembourg, trigger curiosity and public discourse, and generate real interest in this alternative housing model.
